"Kotylak Greg DrKotylak "--please tell me they forgot to put "Greg" in quotations, and that's not really the dude's whole name. Like his parents came over, had him, gave him his uncle's name for his first name and the paperboy's name for his middle one.

 

Kotylak DrKotylak - That's the phonetic spelling for the sound my dog makes coughing up the dust balls she ate.

Riot! smashing spectacle: Report Back from Downtown (on fire)

 

by d. →Dominion Stories, →Media Co-op Updates

 

Before the history is written, let me say just this; before the pepper spray finally weeps out of my eyes, while the tear gas covers me; let me just say a few words while this smile is still smeared across my face.

 

Tonight the social peace was exploded. How many will say it was just a hockey riot, as if one could say just one thing about the tearing apart of the relations that bind us to command. Just a hockey riot, where tens of thousands moved threw the belly of commerce and took what they desired, smashing what was in their way. Hockey fans, fuckin-eh we are! And we fucked shit up.

 

I haven’t been bamboozled by any media coverage yet. In the smashing of spectacle, the spectacle response in its operative ways. From there we usually draw our analysis and shape our positions. But I just remember what just happened. Not all of it, not even close. I pulled up end of the game, beginning of riot. At its origin it was very much colored in the collective rejection of fans who had again been disappointed. Whereas in life we are expected to take the kicks to the teeth when we are down, there are exceptions, and in such moments when the anger is shared, it expresses itself generally.

 

Cars on fire brought us together, seeking the light. The smoke signaled that we were not alone. The edge of alienation cut threw the cop lines and sliced a crevice between all of us against the few of them. The fires grew with our entitlement. Single acts of defiance become the more heroic as one window gave way to another. Finally a hole big enough to get threw. After streets walled off by partitions of gas, the buildings opened them selves to the street. Trickling in at first- stripping the manikins and then hurling out their husks to be used as projectiles, the mob began to pour in. It was the Hudson’s Bay that split wide open. Window after storefront window offered new entrance, one after another. Each window leading to another then turned around the corner, where more windows yield to the boots and bats.

 

We were being blown forward by black smoke. It bellowed threw the frenzy. A car here-and-there smashed and burning. Parking garages bellowing the stuff. We all took it in deep breaths and let out cheers.

 

By the dozenth store to be looted, an open market had established itself. Trade and gifts where given and made. Piles of merchandise where left on the sidewalk for whomever. Gifts where presented to any who wanted some, many having more then they could carry (fortunately a high end bag shop got-its, and folks where able to load there newfounds into travel cases).

 

Before it is said that this was a jock riot. Drunk white guys. A hockey riot; It should be asked why are some so quick to dispel social war. This was not a politico riot. For the most part it seemed like kids from the peripherals of central Vancouver. If it were a race riot, as a white guy I’d a been strung up. My shade of white-ass was few and far in between.

 

‘Fuck 94’ was a popular expression. A refusal to be compromised by a hollowed event-, which was considered by the cops to be long dead. It did not rise to suck the blood of the riot- this was war against the day. The day-to-fucking-day.

 

The violence I witnessed was conscious. It attacked the citizen-cops who morally upheld the inequalities of every day life. These citizens received a taste of the violence that they uphold. Many found that taste on the heel of many a boot. Between them and a window, they both got smashed.

 

Amongst it all, a cluster had formed. A circle around a fight. In the middle where masked up ‘rowdies’ trying to make an escape. ‘Kill the fuckin anarchists’ was the slogan shared by a few. These anarchists where too self-conscious, and in a riot where the everyday was ruptured in the clothes put on that morning, these black uniforms became totally alien. Suspect. Ridicules. As for security culture, the logic was lost in the conspiracy of numbers. As a vandguardist adventurism, it had them running away from the riot and towards a riot cop line.

 

From Sears rained down cheap jewelry. Pungent perfume choked me, as every display case was smashed and contents delivered out the front door. Piling up on the streets, commodities, which had been striped of their fetish, became trophy’s, but for the most part garbage.

 

Chapter’s bookstore windows seemed to be made out of lace. From inside rioters threw hardcovers back at the glass, smashing in at both ends in a race to complete its implosion down the block. Here I found a dented can of beer, a failed projectile, that allowed me a moment to take it all in. What joy we where all having. A carnival. The language of destruction was sung in smashes and accompanying applaud. But in the rubble of downtown there was nothing that could be made. We lived for the moment. We all knew that tomorrow is coming. With it, everything that leads to today’s desire to destroy. The cops began to make their kettle, and most folks took the opportunity to get gone with their hauls.

 

Every store had its guts spread out on the sidewalk. Every trashcan gave light and warmth. The night sky was black as the smoke from a burning cop car. A full red moon, red like fire. Helicopters strobe lights. The rhythmic banging on street poles. Objects streamed overhead, others fluttered down. We made our festive retreat in the wake of a beautiful storm, which itself was borne and remains in us all. There is no telling when the storm will again tear this shit down, or how long the next will last. Every moment contains in-itself a rising wind.

i love how dao gets all turbocapslock over someone daring to think that one piss beer taste better than the other.

 

YO NIGGA, MY BULLSHIT OPINION IS MORE FACTUALLY SOUND THAN YOURS!

YOU THINK ASPARAGUS HAS MORE TASTE THAN BROCCOLI? WELL GIANT RED HAHA"S CAUSE WIKIPEDIA SAYS BROCCOLI HAS MORE TASTE MOLECULES IN ITS DNA> SCIENCE NIGGA!

 

go bruins.

 

 

 

PBR is piss beer.

It literally tastes like hot piss whether it's warm or cold.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a cheap bastard who will drink it if I'm at some bar that has dollar PBR's.

But it's terrible tasting beer that anybody who is a regular beer drinker will tell you tastes like hot piss even when it's cold, and that the only reason that they drink it is because it's cheap.

Just like anybody who drinks beer on a regular basis will tell you that Budweiser does not taste like hot piss.

 

Maybe you're just a lightweight who's taste buds hasn't acquired a taste for beer yet, and all beer tastes like hot piss to you.

If that's the case... wait... that is the case.

I can't be mad at you because I used to be that dude too.

So go ahead and be mad at me, and then be mad at yourself later on in life when you finally realize that there is in fact a vast difference between Budweiser and PBR.

My point is it's "taste." Taste is subjective. Stop presenting your opinions as facts. You arent special.

All domestic yellow ass can beer is piss beer. It's like coke or pepsi. if they dont have one at the restaurant youre at, youll drink the other one. Its all the same shit.

 

Saying you have to aquire a taste for budweiser is hilarious. It's like talking about how low class Burger King is while putting on a tuxedo to go eat Mcdonalds like its some great cuisine.

 

 

So go ahead and be mad at me, and then be mad at yourself later on in life when you finally realize that there is in fact a vast difference between Budweiser and PBR.

 

:lol: Im just as old as you old man. There's more beer in the world than this cheap ass swill. Step your game up.
